============
ironic-agent
============
Builds a ramdisk with ironic-python-agent. More information can be found at:
https://github.com/openstack/ironic-python-agent/
Beyond installing the ironic-python-agent, this element does the following:
* Installs the ``dhcp-all-interfaces`` so the node, upon booting, attempts to
obtain an IP address on all available network interfaces.
* Disables the ``iptables`` service on SysV and systemd based systems.
* Disables the ``ufw`` service on Upstart based systems.
* Installs packages required for the operation of the ironic-python-agent::
``qemu-utils`` ``parted`` ``hdparm`` ``util-linux`` ``genisoimage``
* When installing from source, ``python-dev`` and ``gcc`` are also installed
in order to support source based installation of ironic-python-agent and its
dependencies.
